I was finally able to get my local pet store to give me a baby Jackson Chameleon that was in bad shape. I've got her st up properly now I believe, but since I'm new to Jacksons I could use some serious help with this little darling.
History.
Age & Size: No idea. She's maybe 2 1/2 inches from nose to vent.
How she was Housed: Glass enclosure, with very little ventilation if any.
Lighting: They had her under a coiled fluorescent compact type UVB bulb.
Feeding: She was not eating
Watering: Barely anything at all. She's lucky if she got misted once a day.
Problems: Not eating and looks like she has eye issues from the coiled compact fluorescent bulb.
I have her in a small screened enclosure. Shes been misted and will be dripped. I've dropped some small crickets and blue bottle flies in there with her now.
Heat. None as of yet. She's in my bedroom. Ambient is 74 degrees and down to 70 at night. I can adjust for her needs.
I have all the needed supplements that I use for my Panthers and all feeders are properly gutloaded.
I have and can use some Reptaid on her, but since I just got her home I didn't want to stress her further.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's a couple of pics of her good side. The other eye is closed.
